Greetings Everyone-

I have been visiting Thailand and Pattaya since 2012 and love it.

I am a new member here, however, I was a member of Secrets since 2013.

I have been inactive and just saw Secrets shut down their domain.

In February 2020, my Retirement Visa was approved however, due to the Coronavirus, I am stuck at home.

I look forward to the travel industry reopening.

 

Jump in we don't tolerate members having a go at other members so you should have a easy transition 

Any problems just contact a moderator

Not only does it suck you can't get to Thailand, but IIRC your visa must be used within three months from date of issue. Am I remembering correctly on that?

Unsure, however in my case, I sent in my application with passport to the Thai Embassy in the USA.

It was just about to be approved when travel was halted.  

So the representative at the Thai Embassy called me to inform me it was approved.

She had the foresight to hold onto my Passport and did not insert the Visa approval yet.

We are waiting for travel to open back up, so I can proceed.  

I don't really need my passport so I told her to keep it for now.

That was really good of them to do that.

BTW, the non-OA visa now has a health insurance requirement when you extend it. Have a look in this topic on the subject.

Yes, thank you. 

I actually had to supply health coverage for this application. 

I am working on getting the insurance documents for 2021 so I can ensure I get my extension next year.

Good luck @RimmerMan hope you get to the LOS as soon as all this Covid shite settles down. 👍

greetings; old dog here; been traveling to thailand since around 1985.    i can still remember traveling around places like phuket and koh samui when there weren't a ton of hotels; just small bungalows with no flush toilet and the generator would go off at around 11; after that, no electricity!    i miss those great times.
